Damian Jensen Memorial Award:

Damian had a passion for climbing. It was through his positive personality, his personal confidence, and his commitment to
climbing that he was able to meet the challenge of his studies and dedicate the time and energy needed to develop in his chosen
sport.

Although Damian’s focus was on his climbing, he showed every ability to keep his social life with his friends and his time with his
family balanced. Climbing, like many passions, is not an activity offered through the athletic or extra-curricular programs of the
school district. This, at times, presented more of a challenge for Damian, as he needed to negotiate on classes and schedules in
order to pursue his climbing.Damian encountered good support for his personalized education plan from a number of his teachers,
but did at times find that he was met with the challenge of satisfying those who did not have the same view of climbing being a
priority. Damian actively engaged in Peer Counselling and thoroughly enjoyed playing soccer.

Award Criteria and Description:

The selection committee will consider individuals who demonstrate the following:

□ Initiative and commitment to continue their education to a higher level.

□ A passion for an individual activity which requires a great deal of time, energy, personal dedication, and which involves
travel. The activity typically would be one that is not sponsored by district athletic programs or extra-curricular activities.

□ That the individual also demonstrates an ability to be involved as a ‘team’ player, and continues to maintain a social life with
others.

□ Minimum C+ average in grades 11 and 12.
